Assembled stair using thread profile and run profile

[mv_riera]

Hi,

I have a generic model of stairs, and I’m trying to achieve the same result using the stairs family, but I didn't manage at all.

When I use the tread profile, the height of the tread changes on the last steps of the stairs. Also, applying a profile to the run does not seem to work.

Could someone here give me some guidance on how I can achieve the same result—or at least something as similar as possible to the stair in the generic model?

hi @mv_riera 

You're absolutely right; Revit’s default stair system has several limitations, especially when you need custom tread geometry or non-standard profiles.
I’ve attached a short video that shows the issue and outlines a recommended workflow.
If you want to build stairs like the ones in your Generic Model, the best approach is to combine the Stair tool with the Railing tool.
The railing system is much more flexible and allows you to create very custom stair shapes that the default stair tool cannot handle.
This workflow provides both parametric control and cleaner geometry.
Hope it helps.

Hi Ghasem, 

Thank you for your help and for sharing the video. It’s still not very clear what position the profile should have, only that the top line should be aligned with the front/back CRP, but it’s not actually centered (I’m trying to understand the logic behind this).
What about the run? I tried the same approach, but it still doesn’t create the run. Do you have more ideas?

Thanks.

Best,

Maria
